Chapter 712 The End

"How long are we going to stay in this place?"

A blood wolf knight kicked the wall with all his strength, and the iron leather wrapped by the front of the boots rubbed a few sparks on the wall. At the moment when the sun was half gone, they shone brightly in the shadow behind the wall. Beside him, a companion sighed: "Stop complaining, Eric. Who here doesn't want to go back, and it's an insult to the knight's reputation that we should guard such a kid. But so what, this is Earl Reckard The command."

"Maybe it's just that Lanza's order." The knight known as Eric slapped his palm on the wall bitterly: "He has made us do enough shameful things, let's not talk about kidnapping the former earl's sister not long ago Just say the day before yesterday, we were asked to go to the village to rob women, what is the difference between this and robbers?"

"That's why we have to be patient for the time being. Didn't I hear that Lord Glenn brought an army over, so I think the matter here will be resolved soon?" The knight said with a smile: "In this case, we can quickly return Well. I haven't seen the boys at home for a long time."

"Me too, I don't know how Alyssa is doing now." Eric sighed, and suddenly the corner of his eye was stung by the light. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, and through his fingers, his eyes fell on the road in front of the White Castle. At the other end of the road, a group of people and horses were heading towards the castle. It was the armor on the opponent's fighter, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun and piercing into his eyes.

"What's going on?" The companion next to him also noticed something strange and rushed to the top of the wall.

From their position, it is enough to have a panoramic view of the street below. There were a hundred or so people in that team, about twenty knights running in front, and soldiers on foot behind them. Whether knights or infantry, the armor on their bodies is white iron armor soaked with silver. On the chest of these armors, there is a cross pattern. The flag erected by the infantry in the rear is exactly the cross of swords of the "Crusaders" of the Church's force.

"Is it the church?" Eric said nervously: "Go and inform Mr. Lanza, we are in trouble."

After his companions left, Eric summoned the remaining blood wolf knights. As for the soldiers, these boys from the Giles family can only make up the number of people, and usually scare the civilians. If a fight really started, these people would be unreliable at all. At this moment, they were also mobilized to the guard wall of the castle, and the hands holding the muskets were constantly shaking.

White Castle is not a military castle, although at the beginning of construction, Orban's ancestors built it according to the scale of the castle. Although White Castle also has defensive facilities such as guard walls, arrow stacks, sentry towers, and city gates, everything has shrunk greatly. After all, if the castle is built too strictly, it will not be conducive to the friendly image created by the jazz of the past dynasties. But now, from Eric's point of view, the defense provided by the castle is limited, and it is better than the courtyard.

He looked around him, there were less than ten blood wolf knights, and about twenty soldiers with pale faces. Once the opponent really launched an attack, Eric could already foresee the ending.

The Crusaders stopped a hundred or ten meters away from the castle. The avenue led straight to the gate of the castle, and this distance was enough for the opponent to charge. Eric stepped forward and shouted loudly: "What are you doing! This is White Castle, the castle of the distinguished Earl Giles. I ask you to retreat immediately!"

The Crusaders were suddenly separated from the two sides, and both knights and infantry moved in unison, which made Eric's heart sink. There is no doubt that this army is well-trained, and even though its numbers are smaller, its combat effectiveness cannot be ignored. From the parting stream of people, Vera and Father Miro came forward. When Vera stopped, the priest still took a step forward and said to the castle: "Given Earl Giles' dirty reputation and cruel atrocities. Such a person has lost the virtue of a lord. People hope to support a The new lord. As for Sir Giles, we hope that he will abdicate automatically. So at this moment, please open the city gate."

"It's a joke, can the church replace the authority of the empire? Sir Giles' title was granted by the empire, what right does the church have to dismiss him!" Eric said loudly.

Father Miro smiled slightly, and said: "Of course the church cannot replace the empire to remove Sir Giles from the title. As I said just now, the church only speaks out the voice of the people. Even if it is an empire, I think the respected emperor will listen to the public opinion." Bar?"

At this time, Vera raised her hand and made a gesture, and the soldiers behind sent a ball of red fireworks to the sky.

Then there were fireworks in every corner of the Ark Port one by one, and Eric watched the fireworks all over the city, and his heart beat faster. He knew that something was going to happen, and it didn't take long before footsteps came from all directions. Eric looked down from the heights, and the streets connected to the castle were filled with dark crowds pouring in like a tide. They were orderly, yet exuded a suffocating aura.

I don't know who took the lead, so I heard a neat shout starting to ring out from the city: "The lord has no virtue, abdicate and give way!"

The waves of sound became higher and higher, and Eric on the city wall seemed to be in a sea of ​​sounds, with slogans ringing from all directions. Not to mention those soldiers, even the blood wolf knight panicked. This kind of thing would never happen in other cities. However, now that the army in Ark Port is controlled by Ruola, Gilles has no soldiers at all, so it is impossible to talk about suppression.

Relying on a foreign knight like Eric and twenty or so family youths who have never killed anyone, it is impossible to disperse the gathering of thousands of people in the city. Seeing so many people, Eric began to worry that the oak gate of the castle might be too flimsy.

An orange firework rose into the sky, and now the sun was gone and night fell. So as long as you look at the night sky, you can clearly see the flame that exploded. When they saw this flame, everyone fell silent, and it was terribly neat. At this moment, Father Miro's voice sounded again: "Everyone in the city, I think you have heard the people's aspirations. Even the emperor knows that the people's will cannot be violated, so knights, please open the city gate."

Eric gritted his teeth and shouted, "It can't be done!"

Father Miro showed a helpless smile and glanced back. Willick, who was covered in armor, clamped his horse's belly, and immediately broke away from the crusaders' ranks, galloping on the avenue, the target couldn't be more obvious.

"Attack! Attack!" Eric yelled.

But there was no movement behind him. He looked back. The soldiers on both sides of the city wall looked at each other, and no one dared to shoot. The knight cursed angrily, grabbed a musket and pointed it at Verrick. As soon as his finger touched the trigger, his pupils shrank involuntarily. In the crusade, a group of soldiers launched two Thor cannons, aiming at the city wall. There is no doubt that as long as he dares to shoot, he will be bombarded immediately!
